14.01.2022 Children need boundaries and discipline but it needs to be fair, explained clearly and adhered to consistently. Discipline with anger and reaction may cause the child to think that he/she is innately bad and wrong and that he/she is not loved. Above all children need to be told they are loved and experience that love regularly through loving transactions - not just words but one on one time spent in active connection and activities so that the words are backed by the child's experience. (anon)

12.01.2022 In order to show love to children, one of the most difficult things for parents to do, is having to bear the fact that they have to frustrate their child. They have to make the child suffer more than he/she wants to. This means every parent has to bear being hated by their children. (Taken mainly from 'On Being Too Much For Ourselves by Adam Phillips)

12.01.2022 I felt this was worth sharing!

10.01.2022 One more type - the cupboard narcissist, who lives on reflected glory of another. e.g. a spouse is very successful and the partner supports, applauds and promotes their success in order to feel more acceptable themselves.

04.01.2022 Sound knowledge of splitting. It takes time for clients to be able to see when they are splitting and usually this is worked through in therapy. For the client to accept that he/she is the one who has a skewed view of the world/reality can be alarming. Thoughts of being different, diagnosed with a disorder or emotionally impaired are not easy for anyone to accept so it takes time, usually with an empathic and listening therapist. One needs to develop a capacity for tolerating pain without blame or anger or defensive attacking. Another person cannot answer her/his needs and is not responsible for answering the needs of another.

02.01.2022 Wednesday 27th May, West Australian, Page 3. So good to see this sort of reporting out there. Many believe that a baby's first sounds are his/her way of communicating with another and if copied the baby will feel seen, that he/she matters enough for another to try and understand by attempting to communicate back to baby in the baby's own language. If an adult were speaking and we made no attempt to listen or respond that would probably stop communication. Many researcher's believe the baby may feel he/she actually begins to exist as a unique and separate being because an important other takes time to listen, understand and emulate what is being spoken. No wonder the baby smiles.
